091: Looking for a Shop
Larger tools were needed to cook a large amount of jam. The original small pot was no longer suitable. Wang Cheng was confident that as long as the customer tasted the jam made by his mother, they would definitely buy it again, so he basically did not have to worry about losing money. After arriving at the Guan’s Village, he decided to find a place specializing in making jams, recruit some workers, and then let them be supervised by Mama Wang herself.
That night, Wang Cheng told his mother of his plan. Papa Wang was also present. After talking, both of them supported their son's decision.
"Does Chengcheng know where he wants to set up the small factory?" Mama Wang asked.
"Not yet, do the parents have any good suggestions?" Wang Cheng shook his head. After this idea came out, he began thinking about where it was better.
Papa Wang said, "It may be a little too late now, we still have to find a ready-made one, and then renovate it, it should work, our requirements are not high.."
"Otherwise, find one in Chengping. By the way, we need to find a place and open a jam shop. This will kill two birds with one stone. If we separate from a store, we will have to find another buyer. Moreover, Chengping now has more villagers because of the increase from Shiquan County. It’s very popular, and if we’re late, it will be hard to find one later on.” The Chengping Mama Wang mentioned was a big town, and the market was very big, not comparable to the Guan’s Village’s.
Wang Cheng thought and felt it was right, "Then I'll go to Chengping tomorrow."
"I'll go with you." Papa Wang said.
The next morning, the father and son went to Chengping together. Chengping's market was big. It was not in the Guan’s Village. It took nearly ten to twenty minutes to drive there, but it was closer to the city. The market in the morning was very lively. All the streets were busy with villagers who came and went to buy vegetables. This place was not as exclusive as the market in the Guan’s Village. Villagers came from multiple villages. The streets were wide and the market was more than twice as large as the Guan’s Village’s. It was very lively.
Wang Cheng parked his car at a temporary parking spot outside the marketplace, and then walked in with Papa Wang. The father and son duo rarely came to the marketplace in Chengping, but it was not difficult to inquire. Many markets in Chengping were not for rent. After asking for the address from the shop they exited, the two came to the office building where the shops were rented and bought.
The person in charge of the office building was a middle-aged individual with the surname Li. When he heard that they wanted to rent a larger shop, he warmly welcomed them. After some discussion, it was determined what they wanted to rent. The middle-aged individual took out an atlas. There was a map of the market, and a few floor plan views of the bigger shops.
"These four shops are the best in the market, with the largest area remaining, and the flow of people can be guaranteed. You two can check it out."
Wang Cheng and Papa Wang glanced over it again. There were two shops that were more suitable. They were about the size of two shops, and had two floors. There was a small yard behind it. It was enough to be a small factory, and they could still sell jams in the front. However, one building was facing the north of the market and one was south.
The south-facing houses in Shanhai City were better than the north-facing ones. There was often sunlight, and the humidity inside the house would not be too heavy. Although the jams they sold had little environmental requirements, they didn’t plan to sell only jams in the future. To secure future sales, the humidity should not be too heavy.
